Hi friends!  We have had a great amazing week at the missionary training center.  We were organized into a district of 7 other missionary couples who will be serving all over the world.  Most of the couples in our district are serving military relations missions and will be going to places like Vietnam, Korea, Japan, Richmond Virgina and Tacoma Washington.  There is one couple going to Bermuda to help with Welfare self reliance and one going to South America South Area too.  We grew to love all of these amazing people and feel that we have made life long friendships with them and our teachers in one short week. 

We also were able to have a teaching moment with a dear sweet couple from Blackfoot Idaho.  They taught us an amazing lesson about the law of concecration and we taught them about the divinity of their call to serve as medical advisors to 22 missions in Northern Europe.  We really love this dear couple.

Tuesday night we were blessed to be taught by an apostle of the Lord.  Elder Stevenson and his wife spoke to all of us missionaries at the MTC.  He took his time after his talk to walk around and shook hands with missionaries.  It was so quiet and reverant as he walked around and just looked in awe at all of the young missionaries.  After the devotional we attended a samoan district and heard them share their testimonies about the devotional.  When they ended they sang a Samoan hymnn.  It was so beautiful!

Okay, the FOOD!  so much FOOD!  The miracle of feeding so many 18 year old boys and 19 year old girls.  Being the Mom of a few teanagers I can't even fathom how much food is consumed in this place!!

We are done with the "Preach My Gospel" part of our training and I would have to say I really enjoyed all of it!  Next week we will learning about the Welfare, Self Reliance and Humanitarian part of our mission.  Wednesday we fly out to Ghana!

Have a great week!  Much love from the Fuell's

Teacher's quarters and boreholes

 Hello friends and family!  This last month has been really busy.  We will start by telling you about a school we went to go look at up north.  We had to travel 9 hours north to a town by the name of Bolgatanga.  It is a little difficult to travel because there are no public restrooms and very few places to eat.  We try to plan for this.  I usually make banana muffins and boil a few eggs the day before we travel and we pack easy to grab and eat food like apples and oranges.  We strategically visit other senior couples along the way so we can visit for a minute and utilize their washrooms (restrooms).  We passed through Techiman and we had thought the Vousden's were in Sunyani.  If that happens we can stop at Kintampo Falls.  Sometimes we can use the restroom there with out paying to get in.  We then traveled to a town called Tamale where we stayed with the Elder and Sister Jones.  The next day we traveled the last 4 hours ...

  Temple rendering of the Kumasi Temple by Elder Milan Miller We have plenty to catch up on, so this might be a long post. We have been very busy getting a gospel literacy class going in a little town called Duyaw Nkwanta.  The Gospel literacy classes are so amazing.  We are starting in the first book where we teach them the ABC's and we introduce a gospel topic as well as learn a letter.  These humble people are so excited to learn to read and write in English.  I know it will greatly bless their lives.  We introduce the class and then we turn it over to a teacher from amongst their peers who can speak english and Twi.  We have 11 other congregations that we need to get it started in. These are the beautiful ladies that were interested in learning English Sadly, we have been saying goodbye to good friends and missionaries.  We are quickly becoming old in the mission.  Our good friends Elder and Sister Hess have been transferred to Accra to b...

Rebecca's Visit and many projects underway

 We have been doing plenty of traveling.  We made a quick trip to Kumasi to check on some projects and while we were there the area asked us to stop by a hospital and put some stickers on items the church donated to the hospital. We stopped by our friends at "Better Life for Women" and gave them some stickers to put on donated equipment for children and young adults with physical and mental challenges. members of the "Better Life for Women" Organization This organization goes into the homes of physically and mentally challenged adults and children to offer physical and occupational therapy to these friends.  Ghana is challenging enough to navigate so we felt like this was a group we could support with a little help from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.  We will be handing over these donations to the community soon! We stopped by KATH hospital in Kumasi and tagged some donations there as well This hospital bed was amongst many donations that were give...
